I am originally from Poland. At the time we left, it was run by a communist government. The living conditions were unimaginably hard. My dad decided he just couldn’t live like that anymore and took his wife and 2 kids, with only $500 in his pocket, and escaped. Mind you, I mean escaped in a very literal way. We went through camps in different countries, stayed in Greece for a short period, and ended up in San Diego. Being an adult, I absolutely can NOT imagine the guts it took to make such...
